"Without free speech no search for truth
is possible...no discovery of truth is useful...Better a thousand fold abuse
of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the
denial slays the life of the people, and entombs the hope of the race."
{Charles Bradlaugh - British social reformer 1833-1891}

Welcome to the website dedicated to free speech at Marywood University. Marywood's current policies and practices are antithetical to the principles of academic freedom. To correct the problems caused by the ambiguous existing policies, our group is urging Marywood to enshrine free speech protections on campus. We want action. Please take some time to review the materials on this website to learn more about our history, our proposal, and our on-going efforts in the pursuit of this important policy change. If you are Marywood student, faculty member, or "alum" likewise troubled by the lack of free speech protections on campus, then join us and help us change it!
